Witness saw flames as residents evacuated

Residents were evacuated from their homes as flames ripped through the car park.

A woman who wishes to remain anonymous said: "My sister lives in the block of flats. There's a car park underneath the flats and my sister said the neighbour above her ordered food at around midnight last night and she looked out the window and saw flames, and immediately knocked on my sisters door to get her up and out the building.

"My sister heard banging on the door late at night and the neighbour upstairs was trying to get everyone to leave the building. They went round banging on all the doors to get everyone to wake up and leave. She said it went on for hours.

"My sister doesn't want to live there she doesn't feel safe, because its happened before, I told her to get some sort of petition together."

Another is scared to driver her car in case it has been tampered with.

Another resident who lives on the third floor of the block of flats said: "My car seems to be ok but I don't want to drive it, what if they tampered with it or cut the wires underneath it or something?

"It's a terrible thing to happen, they seem to have set light to the bonnets of the cars, The fire could have been a lot worse but it does make me think twice about where I keep my car."
